Thailand&#8217;s beaches are among the most stunning in the world. Complete with turquoise waters, white-sand coast, ocean air and lush greenery nearby, Thai beaches are postcard exotic destinations.<\/p>\n<p>Phuket is among the most popular beach vacation spots in Thailand, where the coast stretches along the Andaman Sea. But which one is the best? That really comes down to what tempo you prefer. Do you prefer jet skiing in the water or laying in the sand on a private beach owned by your hotel? Each beach is different. Here are the most popular Phuket beaches on the West coast.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Best Beaches in Phuket<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7647 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/tropical-divider.png\" alt=\"tropical-divider\" width=\"1512\" height=\"86\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Patong Beach<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11604 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Patong-Beach-Phuket2-800x450-1.jpg\" alt=\"Patong Beach, Phuket - Best Beaches in Phuket\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Phuket&#8217;s major city,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/Patong.d9364.Destination-Travel-Guides\">Patong<\/a>,\u00a0boasts an exciting scene complete with restaurant and nightlife opportunities. If you&#8217;re looking for a place to party, Patong is for you.<\/p>\n<p>But a few steps away from town lies Patong Beach, a great place to see and be seen among locals, luxury travellers and backpackers alike. There are plenty of leisure opportunities located around the beach, including mini-golf, beach volleyball and good, old-fashioned sunbathing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Patong beach itself isn&#8217;t the best, but it certainly wasn&#8217;t as bad as the horror stories I&#8217;d heard. Sure, you can find cleaner water, less crowds and softer sand elsewhere along Phuket&#8217;s coast. But\u00a0Patong is still enjoyable, with gentle waves,\u00a0water sports providers on the beach, and evenings completed by a stunning sunset. I caught this stunner of a shot on the beach &#8211; Rebecca\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7692 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/phuket-icarus-079-1024x632-1.jpg\" alt=\"Patong Beach Parasailing - - Best Beaches in Phuket\" width=\"1024\" height=\"632\" \/><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can also meander away from the waterline to enjoy noodles, seafood and other eats from vendors who set up shop along the beach&#8217;s promenade. Occasionally, beach vendors will come around and offer to sell you a drink, ice cream or draw henna. They will however go away immediately if you politely decline.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>P.S. I wanted a little girly time out for myself, and for that I absolutely loved my stay in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/Phuket-Hotels-Patong-Signature-Boutique-Hotel.h8122598.Hotel-Information\">Patong Signature Boutique Hotel<\/a>. It&#8217;s on the quieter end of Patong, with a bedroom facing the sea and a spa tub in some rooms! Dreamy! The pool is not as amazing as the picture, but still a great view to yourself.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/phuket-patong-signature-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"phuket-patong-signature\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[button fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217; style=&#8217;blue&#8217; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/Patong.d9364.Destination-Travel-Guides&#8217; icon=&#8217;entypo-suitcase&#8217;] Find Hotels\u00a0in Patong[\/button]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7647 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/tropical-divider.png\" alt=\"tropical-divider\" width=\"1512\" height=\"86\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Kamala Beach<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Kamala-Beach-28047-800x450-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kamala Beach, Phuket\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>If the hustle and bustle of Patong Beach isn&#8217;t for you, check out the quieter option among Phuket beaches &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/Kamala-Beach-Kamala.d6176433.Place-To-Visit\">Kamala Beach<\/a>. This tranquil oasis boasts the perfect combination of calm and activity. The serene nature of the beach stems from its less-densely frequented reputation: While there are generally a few beachgoers to rub elbows with, you&#8217;re less likely to experience crowding here than you would at Patong.<\/p>\n<p>As for the activity angle, one of the more popular things to do on Kamala beach is to go snorkelling just off the main stretch of beach.<\/p>\n<p>[button fullwidth=&#8217;true&#8217; style=&#8217;blue&#8217; url=&#8217;https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/Kamala-Phuket-Hotels.0-n6050561-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels&#8217; icon=&#8217;entypo-suitcase&#8217;] Find Kamala beach hotels[\/button]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7647 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/tropical-divider.png\" alt=\"tropical-divider\" width=\"1512\" height=\"86\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Surin Beach<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11609 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sunset-surin-beach-phuket-800x531-1.jpg\" alt=\"Surin Beach, Phuket - Best Beaches in Phuket\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" \/>\u00a0<em><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">CC 2.0 \/\u00a0<a class=\"owner-name truncate\" title=\"Go to Kent Wang's photostream\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kentwang\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track=\"attributionNameClick\" data-rapid_p=\"29\">Kent Wang<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Surin Beach is situated close to\u00a0a number of multi-million dollar homes, providing eye candy and perhaps some pleasant delusions of grandeur. However, one of the best features of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/Surin-Beach-Phuket-Hotels.0-n6125682-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels\">Surin Beach<\/a> is its abundance of water sports. Have you always wanted to try your hand at surfing?

The beach itself is lined by shops that allow visitors to browse for goods and souvenirs before and after their time near the water. With clear blue waters and an even clearer blue sky (unless it&#8217;s Monsoon Season), Karon Beach is as beautiful as it is charming and fun.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just south of Patong Beach, about a 15min tuk tuk ride away so you don&#8217;t have to spare a whole day to go.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On my last day I decided to squeeze in a visit to Karon Beach. A quick\u00a0ride from Patong to Karon (but expensive at about SGD20) and I was a beautiful beach where time slowed down. I had lunch on the beach, got a bit of a tan reading a book on the beach, popped up to this restaurant for a juice with a view (cool reggae bar below), splashed about in the shallow waters for a bit, then headed back to Patong.\u00a0I even had time to take another walk around Patong town before getting my taxi to the airport! \u00a0&#8211; Rebecca<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/karon-beach-phuket-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"karon-beach-phuket\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Further south is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/Kata-Beach-Phuket-Hotels.0-n6209169-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels\">Kata Beach<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.my\/Kata-Noi-Beach-Hotels.d6067900.Travel-Guide-Hotels\">Kata Noi<\/a>, both beautiful beaches too. Kata Noi is a little less accessible, but the most pristine of the three. Definitely spend more time than on Patong beach if you can!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And there you have the most\u00a0best beaches in Phuket if popularity equals best.
